complete project 365

Posted late, but I’m done! Fortuitously, Cory and I went to the Meyerson in downtown Dallas on my last day of the project to see Ben Folds play with the symphony, so I got to take lots of great pictures of the concert hall and surrounding area. This is a corner of the Meyerson against the late afternoon sky.

I took Sophie out for a front yard walk and took some pictures of the plants in planters while she laid around on the sidewalk.

This is my last kitty photo of my project 365. Both Sophie and Gracie made lovely models over the course of the year and saved me from several days of otherwise uninspired photography. Hooray for kitties!

A lizard climbed inside the back doors, between the screen door and the wood and glass door and just hung out for a while. He was totally cool with my taking pictures, even looked at me, but when I picked up my kitty to show her, he saw her, freaked out, and ran away.

This is a macro shot of part of a painting that was painted by my great-aunt (I think). I grew up with it. It’s an old-fashioned realist painting of magnolias and doesn’t really fit in with my style overall, but I have a sentimental attachment to it.

While looking for Thai food, I stopped to take a photo of this row of what I suppose are water pipes. Unfortunately, the Thai restaurant in this parking lot was closed. But we found another one, so it all worked out. Yum.
